- Are fitted with special safety toe caps to protect your toes should heavy materials fall on them. The toe caps themselves are either made of steel, as they always have been, or from new materials such as nano carbon or fibreglass. Lighter in weight, but just as strong.
- Ensure that sharp objects such as nails or glass cannot pass through the shoe and into your foot, thanks to their robust, perforation-resistant soles and insoles,
-
Provide additional support for your feet and ankles. This helps you prevent sprains or injuries, as the shoes themselves will make sure that you are stable, balanced and are standing firmly.
-
Are fitted with anti-slip soles with the latest technology, so you will retain your grip even on uneven surfaces, slippery ladders or coarse scaffolding. Slipping and falling are now a thing of the past, thanks to specially developed soles like the GripForce® Easy Twist, the Framework PU or the Vibram Ecostep Pro outsole.
-
Prevent you coming into contact with hazardous substances such as solvents, cement, paint, oil or chemicals, while keeping your feet dry all day long. How? By using moisture-repellent materials in the uppers, such as full-grain leather, nubuck or microfibre, all of which are water-repellent, flexible and breathable!
-
Have anti-static properties or are ESD certified. As you will regularly come into contact with electronic systems and devices on a construction site, shoes that help conduct static electricity away are a must for your own safety.
